Nutrition, Health, and Our Environment!

What we eat is considered an environmental factor that influences health, in positive and negative ways. Healthy diets with an optimal balance of nutrients help people accomplish daily physical activities and mental processes. Within your diet, a deficiency or excess of certain nutrients can affect health.

The term diet refers to foods and beverages consumed over time in all settings, such as worksites, schools, restaurants, and the home. Diet also often means a specific nutritional plan or eating pattern.

Nutrition is the process of consuming, absorbing, and using nutrients from food that are necessary for growth, development, and maintenance of life.

What Are Nutrients?
Nutrients give your body energy and enable bodily functions. They are usually classified in two major groups:

Macronutrients, in the form of protein, carbohydrate, or fat, primarily provide energy to your body. The different macronutrients serve different energy pathways and functions in the body. Energy from macronutrients in food is measured in units called calories.

Micronutrients, known as vitamins and minerals, are required by the body in minute amounts. They protect and promote various bodily functions, including processing energy from macronutrients. Although critical to health, micronutrients do not supply energy.

Nutrition May Reduce Harmful Health Effects From Environmental Factors
The concept of reducing risk from harmful exposures tends to mean removing or decreasing exposure to environmental contaminants. But that form of prevention can be difficult to achieve. An alternative concept is to focus on nutrients with potential to be protective or reduce the risk of harmful health effects from environmental factors.

Eating Fish – Eating fish can provide many health benefits, but consumers should be cautious. Some types of fish caught in certain areas are lower in mercury, PFAS, and other contaminants than other fish.
